How to clean your makeup brushes in 6 steps

in #women7 years ago

Remember to always clean your makeup brushes weekly! Your makeup brush could be your skin's "worst enemy". Here's what I use to clean my makeup brushes.

Step 1

First, run your brush bristles under lukewarm water. Make sure to keep the bristles pointing downwards, avoiding the area where the handle meets the head.

Step 2

Next, dispense a small amount of baby shampoo into the palm of your hand. About a nickel-sized amount should do the trick. Next, swirl the brush bristles into the baby shampoo until it creates a rich lather.

Step 3

After you feel you've worked out the dirt and oil that has been trapped in the bristles, rinse the brush head under lukewarm water again.

Step 4

Squeeze the excess water out of the brush by pulling it in between your thumb and the side of your index finger.

Step 5

Use a cloth or a paper towel to dry off the bristles, reshaping them as you go.

Step 6

Lay your brushes flat to dry over night.
